What makes you think he wouldnt? He has been very successful wherever he has been. Great recruiter, great offensive mind, has a QB in place to be great in his system, and in a weak conference. Pretty solid set up.

The conference isn't that weak (its not as bad as the acc or pac12) and they are going to a nine game conference schedule and a champ game. That's a rough go of it with one less cupcake than the sec.

Also you can't lose a game and get the benefit of the doubt like the sec does.

That adds up to a rougher go, IMO than Meyer had in the relatively weak mid 2000s sec east and tressel did with 8 conference games and no champ game.

by weak conference do you mean not the SEC? I won't get into this debate but the Big 10 most years (this is a down one as one of their top teams has been off) are just as good if not better than the Pac 12 (most years better) and who else is better than them? the Big12? laughable the ACC? not hardly I won't even bring the big east into this conversation

so at worst they are what? the 2nd or 3rd worst conference on any given year?

Ive just never been impressed with Big 10 football. Most of that comes from SC's reign of the 2000's when we would go to the rose bowl every year to play a hyped up Big 10 team and smoke them.

I will be honest that I havent watched a ton of Big 10 football this year, it was more of an opinion that Im stubborn to change. Ill admit that.

Weird about Leach. I would have expected him to be going after higher jobs. I'd take him in Happy Valley to be honest.

His personality and methods turn a lot of people off. I remember reading how Washington wanted to hire him a few years ago, but after interviewing him the AD wanted nothing to do with him. Herd something similar with him interviewing at Maryland.
